On the Mechanistic Origins of Toughness in Bone

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the structure and properties of bone, focusing on mechanical deformation and fracture behavior from the perspective of the multidimensional hierarchical nature of its structure and derive its resistance to fracture with a multitude of deformation mechanisms at many size scales ranging from the nanoscale structure of protein molecules to the macroscopic physiological scale.

Multiscale Toughening Mechanisms in Biological Materials and Bioinspired Designs

TL;DR: The toughening mechanisms of different organisms at multilength scales are identified and summarized: macromolecular deformation, chemical bond breakage, and biomineral crystal imperfections at the atomic scale; biopolymer fibril reconfiguration/deformation andBiomineral nanoparticle/nanoplatelet/nanorod translation, and crack reorientation at the nanoscale.

A review of impact resistant biological and bioinspired materials and structures

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of impact resistant biological systems with a focus on their recurrent structural design elements, material properties, and energy absorbing mechanisms is presented, and the impact resistant structures at the micro- and meso-scales are classified into layered, gradient, tubular, sandwich and sutured.

A new constitutive framework for arterial wall mechanics and a comparative study of material models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a constitutive law for the description of the (passive) mechanical response of arterial tissue, where the artery is modeled as a thick-walled nonlinearly elastic circular cylindrical tube consisting of two layers corresponding to the media and adventitia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical properties and the hierarchical structure of bone

TL;DR: Further investigations of mechanical properties at the "materials level", in addition to the studies at the 'structural level' are needed to fill the gap in present knowledge and to achieve a complete understanding of the mechanical properties of bone.
Journal ArticleDOI

The conflicts between strength and toughness

TL;DR: This work focuses on the interplay between the mechanisms that individually contribute to strength and toughness, noting that these phenomena can originate from very different lengthscales in a material's structural architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperelastic modelling of arterial layers with distributed collagen fibre orientations

TL;DR: A structural continuum framework that is able to represent the dispersion of the collagen fibre orientation is developed and allows the development of a new hyperelastic free-energy function that is particularly suited for representing the anisotropic elastic properties of adventitial and intimal layers of arterial walls.
Journal ArticleDOI

The elastic and ultimate properties of compact bone tissue

TL;DR: The use of a tranversely isotropic model is tested for the elastic behavior of bovine and human bone and the five independent constants of this model are determined.
